Highlights
01.
Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary year with a dynamic, interactive exploration of the American Revolution and the creation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights in the Center's newest permanent gallery, America's Founding. Take the presidential oath of office, sit in the Oval Office, and step onto the Supreme Court bench in the hands-on companion exhibit, Governing the Nation.
02.
Go on a journey from America’s founding to the present day in Freedom Rising. This vibrant theatrical production features 360-degree multimedia and a live narrator who tells the story of the U.S. Constitution — from its creation during the 1787 Constitutional Convention to the amendments and court decisions that continue to make the Constitution “the most powerful vision of human freedom ever expressed.”
03.
Explore Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality and explore how constitutional clashes over slavery set the stage for the Civil War, and how the nation transformed the Constitution after the war to more fully embrace the Declaration of Independence’s promise of liberty and equality.
